In answer to your question, YES Karen you do report them. Children need to know that for every criminal action there are consequences. Protecting your kids from a night in a cell or jail doesn't make you a good parent. Children need bounders and need to know what will happen if those bounders are crossed. I have four children and they know without doubted I would call the police myself if the broke the law.

I know what you mean Karen. I once had a neighbour blame my oldest daughter for setting fire to the field next door to our house that had been lit by her granddaughter. When the police turned up she was spouting abuse at me in the street and saying she had seen my daughter doing it. Luckily I had proof it wasn't my daughter as she was in Spain with her grandparents at the time. LOL

il tell you what gets me when people go spouting there mouth about the kids from today but they have to remember they were kids to and people that know there have done stuff and its ok then but they soon have a go at others
